    A 6 day round trip of Jura based on taking the ferry to Port Askaig on Islay Exact details to be agreed by those that RSVP
    Plan B trip based on more sheltered waters around Arduanie/Seil/Oban 
    Tentative weather dependent Plan A Please CHECK MY TIDAL CALCULATIONS--- like the government- collective responsibility if wrong !
    Wed 26
    Boats packed and checked in BY 12 .50 kennacraig Sail 1300 Arrives Port Askaig 14.55 (kennacraig 4hrs 13 min from Ullswater)
    Sound of Islay flows North at 16.42.  To be  on water as soon as we can make headway. Launch point is metres from where ferry docks.  Camp as far North East as we can get ! ie Glenbatrick ? or Ruantallan bothy area (bothies are still closed) 
    Thursday 27
    camp to Glengarrisdale bothy area.
    Friday 28
    Neap tides. The Hagg flows east from 13.57 (please check)  Morning paddle to Bagh Gleann Muc  arrive here no earlier than 12.57 and await our moment.
    Once through the Corrveckan head south and camp either at Port an Tiobart or further south.
    Saturday 29
    Head South campsite at Jura Hotel Caignish closed until March 2021
    Could get boat Sunday 1530 or Monday either 0700 or 1700
    Obviously this is all weather dependent. 
    Corrryveckan westerly flow (flood) on wed 26 is 16.57 so would mean a crossing of sound of Jura. Westerly on Thursday 05.41 and 18.17 and on Friday 28 (neaps) is 07.14 and 2012 --not helpful.
    All calculations based on Oban meteo Consult Marine Tides and tidal streams from Clyde Cruising club Kintyre to Ardnamurchan.
    If anybody knows of any likely wild camping spots please let me know.  Ferry is £6.90 one way. I will keep an eye on availability  Have confirmed they are still taking sea kayakers.
